They can live 15 years if they are healthy and taken care of. If the chickens live on a farm, the farmers butcher them at only 2 years because their egg production slows down. Some chickens are killed to eat and shipped to stores at 2 months old. These "fryers" are 7 to 13 weeks old.
"Commercial chickens" live a short and sad life of only 1 1/2 years. :( But pet chickens that are healthy and very lucky can live up to 15 to 20 years!! ^_^ Do more research to find out more.
It's true that commercial chickens do live a short life of only 1 1/2 years, but pet chickens do not live up to 15-20 years. The oldest chicken ever recorded for its age is Matilda who turned out to be 16 years old. The average lifespan of a pet chicken taking into consideration it is well taken care of will live up to about 6-8 years. If you are lucky it might live longer but I doubt that.
It takes chicks about four months from the time they are hatched to the time they are pullets. After six months the hens should begin laying eggs, which they will do for two or three years. Chickens typically live about four to five years, unless Colonel Sanders catches them first. Fryers are generally butchered after four to six months, and hens go into the soup when they quit laying.
They can live up to around 12 years, but the normal expectancy is about 7 years.
On average the chicken lives for between six and eight years. The oldest chicken ever recorded lived to be a ripe old age of 16.
Chickens can live to be 30-35 years old. The average lifespan of a healthy free-range chicken is about 15 years.
10 days
8-12 years
Ten days.
It is 6-12 weeks for an intestively farmed cheap chicken bred for the table. 18 months for a layer bird - that is prime egg laying time.
a chicken egg is about 50g :)
yes because the chicken is inside of the egg.if the chicken wasnt it would be called just an egg
In the context of evolution, the egg came first. The development of hard shells around eggs allowed for animals to lay them outside the body, protecting and nourishing the embryo inside. This evolutionary adaptation predates the existence of chickens as we know them today.
The lifespan of a pet chicken is about 15 years while a wild chicken is 10.
the egg because dinos lay eggs
seagull's eggs are about the size of an average chicken egg to 2x the size.
From an evolutionist's point of view, the egg came first. A chicken, by definition, must be born from an egg. The egg does not have to be a chicken's egg however. The egg could be layed by an avian that is very similar to a chicken, but which is not a chicken. A small mutation in the genes produces the chicken offspring, which in turn lays eggs to produce more young.
The Chicken!!!! If it was the Egg who sat on the Egg for it to hatch?? Nobody so... God made the Chicken FIRST!
a chicken? its like the question: what came 1st, an egg or a chicken.
The egg came first. Evolutionary changes over time resulted in the gradual transition of a bird species laying eggs with different traits, eventually leading to the chicken as we know it today.
